Star Wars Resistance (Disney XD, 6 p.m.): SERIES FINALE. Kaz and Yeager attempt to rescue Tam from the First Order while trying to evade capture on a Star Destroyer. The Colossus is in trouble and faces an impossible choice. This is a lead-up to the events of The Rise of Skywalker, I think. Then again, do you want to remember the events in The Rise of Skywalker? I thought so.✔️
Vir Das: For India (Netflix, 3 a.m.): A comedy special from Vir Das. Seems pretty self-explanatory.
🕗 EASTERN / 🕖 CENTRAL
Adopted in Danger 🎥 (Lifetime, 8 p.m.): A DNA test helps a young woman connect with her birth parents, but she soon realizes that some family histories are best left... untold.
62nd Grammy Awards (CBS, 8 p.m.): SPECIAL. The red carpet show begins at 6 on E!, and CBS' begins at 7 -- and so does our live thread! At the award show, "Hey, Ma" (Bon Iver), "Bad Guy" (Billie Eilish), "7 Rings" (Ariana Grande), "Hard Place" (H.E.R.), "Talk" (Khalid), "Old Town Road" (Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), "Truth Hurts" (Lizzo), and "Sunflower" (Post Malone & Swae Lee) are all vying for record of the year. Album of the year is Bon Iver, Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, H.E.R., Lil Nas X, Lizzo, and Vampire Weekend. Personally, I always pay attention to the pre-ceremony awards. Dance/Electronic Album, Americana Album, Opera Recording, and Comedy Album are more my jams.✔️
Batwoman (The CW, 8 p.m.): That cliffhanger last week!! On the Kane sisters' birthday, Kate and Alice contend with demons from the past. An unexpected guest makes a surprise appearance in Gotham. Egghead or bust!
Doctor Who (BBC America, 8 p.m.): The Judoon are back! But is it a platoon on the moon? No. The Judoon are targeting 21st-century Gloucester. The Doctor, Yaz, Ryan, and Graham race back to Earth to prevent them from doing too much damage to the cathedral city.

Our Cartoon President (Showtime, 8:30 p.m.): PREMIERE. After the House impeaches Cartoon Trump, he teams up with Cartoon Sean Hannity to convince the nation he's been wrongly accused. Cartoon Elizabeth Warren dumbs down her campaign. Why is this still on??!
Power (Starz, 8 p.m.): The penultimate episode!
Three Smart Girls 🎥 (TCM, 8 p.m.): This mediocre 1936 musical comedy was nominated for Best Picture. Three sisters reunite their divorced parents before their father marries a gold digger. This spawned sequels!

Clara witnesses a moment between Esther and Sir Edward that raises her suspicions about their relationship, with awful consequences for Esther. If the show struggles with anything, it's trying to be like an Austen replica, but also not be an Austen replica. That balance between finding something new and turning into fanfic is fine.
Shameless (Showtime, 9 p.m.): FINALE. Liam out-Gallaghers Frank, and Lip works to convince Tami to stay in Chicago with their baby. Meanwhile, Kev's new business takes off, and V wonders where the money is going. The show will return for a final season.
